Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has a need to make funds
available to contract with Neighborhood House, Inc., which is a community
based, not-for-profit organization. Neighborhood House Inc. will provide
outreach and care coordination services to pregnant and parenting women
for up to two years in the target areas of South Linden, the Near East and
the Near South for the Federal Healthy Start grant program. Neighborhood
House will also provide health education classes and a community baby
shower for participants. The contract period is August 1, 2006 through
May 31, 2007.

Emergency action is required to ensure the continued operation of the
Healthy Start Program.

FISCAL IMPACT: This contract is entirely funded by a grant from the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program does not

2006 Health Department Grants Fund.
